In Reply to: DVD's DACs vs. receiver's posted by Dalancroft on August 30, 2002 at 12:18:18:
Same for the RP82...I've been using its internal decoders/DAC's (5.1 analog outputs) for movies over the ones in my receiver...sounds lots more smoother, open and dynamic to me, not a subtle difference at all. Too bad...one digital cable is easier than 6 analog cables, but the sound is sufficiently better here that it's worth it, and needed them to properly try out the DVD-A anyway, so they're staying.One thing is you can't judge from the DAC's specs, since the ones in the DVDP and the receiver have the same numbers (here), you have to try it.

Then again -- hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . .
It means my DVDP has to be near the processor (receiver) to make it worthwhile. This could be somewhat restrictive for you. I don't mind running longish digital/video (coax) cables, but like to keep them short as possible for analog. Hey, it might not make any difference in your setup anyway, but it's something to remember to try if you don't have a deluxe digital processor.
My DVD is just one space above my A/V receiver on my equipment rack. So I might be able to get away with 5 short (18") Belden 1694 cables and spend no more than a hundred clams. I'm certain the DACs inside the Panasonic RP-91 are superior to those in a Yamaha HTR-5150. Hmmmm.
